You can blame the pensioners in Holy Cross for that who complained about the buses on the 17 being to big and are now complaining they are supposedly isolated in Holy Cross with 2 buses early until late a hour every day of the week! They should look at other areas of the north east before complaining.
And I thought the 11 times were similar? Can't see a massive difference in morning times compared to the 17.
